I have been coming to this blog for a while now and am literally blown away by the simply fabulous ideas and delicious looking pictures. I hope you don't mind but I linked to two of your blogs in my most recent post at my blog ( http://axiosaxiosaxios.blogspot.com)

Sorry don't konw the fancy HTML coding but I do hope you go and have a look.

I'm from East Texas, which is definitely more "southern" than "western." This is exactly the kind of meal we would have had as kids. Except not vegan. And with canned peaches. But you nailed it with the cornbread and beans and ham.

You're cool, Shmoo! I'm so happy to see the corn pone recipe translated to a portable muffin! I tried your "big" tenessee corn pone recipe last week (I mixed pinto beans with spicy black bean corn salsa and some leftover black bean dip) and my omni family is STILL raving! Topped it with a little tofutti sour cream blended with cilantro. My husband is a chef, girl, and he hoovered it! Thanks for the recipes!Blessings and light,Nikki

What ways have you tried to feed Schmoo the sweet taters? I LOVED them as a child but I don't think I would have really liked them pureed. I would have liked them baked, then sliced and sauteed in a pan like homefries until slightly brown on each side with some sauce to dip them in.
